WASHINGTON – It was an eventful year for Nationals’ minor leaguer Drew Mendoza – but it ends with him being the top infield prospect in the system per MLB.com, and No. 11 overall after 10 pitchers.
The Florida State product was in Spring Training when baseball shut down in March. He then dealt with minor issues with Covid-19, with flu-like symptoms for a few days, before being part of the 60-player pool in Virginia and then the Instructional League in West Palm Beach in October.
He was one of the few infielders to take part in both camps in Fredericksburg and Florida.
